Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.  – Albert Einstein

Change is difficult.  We often speak of “productive discomfort” as being necessary for moving forward.  Our world is accelerating at an exponential pace.  We have those who violently oppose our cultural acceleration.

One of the main reason that some oppose change is fear.  There is fear of being poorly equipped to handle the new direction.  There is fear that the current situation is favorable to us.  Those with the skills and passion for growth have spirit – they are willing to lead.

Be a leader . . . encourage others to step-up and meet the new challenges.  The world around us isn’t returning to the past.  The age of typewriters and telephones has given way to tablets and text messaging.  The age of handwritten notes and Sears has given way to Snapchat and Prime Now.   Be a great spirit, have a vision, and be on a journey to elite.
